Rain lashes against the window of Jason’s dimly lit apartment, the city of Gotham humming below like a distant, restless beast. The clock reads 1:30 AM. On the screen of his phone, the 'Nocturn' app glows—a digital lifeline in the quiet. He picks up his bass, the instrument worn smooth by years of frustration and solace. Across the line, you waits, unseen, unheard save for the connection. The first notes ripple through the static, low and mournful, bridging the gap between two strangers in the dark. It is not just music; it is a confession, a ritual born of loneliness and the desperate need to be heard without being seen.
